@realshlippi @Pirat_Nation Don't put black people alongside men who are destroying the rights of women, who push their way into women's sports, prisons and rape shelters; men who are colonising being female

@Pirat_Nation Every time, I swear.

World of Warcraft is adding its first official Pride event called Darkspear Dash in Patch 12.0.5. The event raises money for LGBT Trevor Project

@LucyHunterB Enjoy your break and have a productive catch-up. Take a breath

Going to deactivate for a bit later this week, due to a combination of domestics, deadlines and the need to reduce my levels of aggravation, which pre-election politics is not improving. But I will be back, and I would still love to see any leaflets anyone gets as below.

@lotte_hughes So sorry we have to behave in a certain way and agree with you to meet your approval, Mistress

Agrees with what?? Mahmood is a disgrace to her heritage. As are Cruella Cowardman & Pritti 'Vacant' Patel. #FIGHTRACISM #FIGHTFASCISM #REFUGEESWELCOME

@jk_rowling @KDansky Fair

@KDansky It is possible that a good friend, hearing of my strong personal views on hoodies for middle-aged men, bought not only my husband but every member of the friend's and my own family identical hoodies, which they all wore to lunch. And they made me wear one.

I would like to remind the two members of my immediate family who voted against me in this poll that this was an unofficial, non-legally binding referendum, conducted under duress. In fact, I suspect vote tampering.

@urbanponds101 I love stag beetles. It has been many years since I saw one. I dream of seeing one again, in my garden perhaps, I hope! I have a log pile

How do we feel about Stag Beetles !?!

@babybeginner Of course I trusted you. Worth 😀

Ok. So you hear this woman is going to do a pole dancing routine and you’re instantly turned off. But then… wait for it. I promise. Trust me. This is worth watching. You have learned to trust me by now. Right?

@GendoWasRight @OliverJia1014 That's a nice way of describing it, a bug/feature of human psychology. We see it every; in sport, between countries, schools, cities. Ghana and Nigeria; which jollof rice is best; in London North Vs South. Religion. Boiled eggs: big end or small end! It's what we do

@OliverJia1014 It's not just a console thing. I feel the same seeing grown adults lose their minds about which team kicks a ball around better, or the religion they grew up with by random chance. It's a bug/feature of human psychology. howtogeek.com/801956/the-psy…

Seeing adults unironically invested in video game console wars on this website is the funniest shit ever. These people act like they’re still on a middle school playground and that defending their preferred brand is a life or death jihad.

@megbasham There is nothing wrong with same-sex unions. They are no threat to women and they don't contradict science. Trans ideology is the true menace and that is rife in Japan. All that anime porn

Fun fact, Japan is the only G7 nation that hasn’t fallen to the rainbow mafia. Same-sex unions are not recognized in any form in Japan. 🇯🇵

@konstructivizm It's their lunches. But seriously, can we not have an Ancient Astronaut type nonsense. If you're heading that way there's no point to you

??? Before each landing, cosmonauts carry a small suitcase in one hand. These suitcases are connected to their spacesuits via flexible tubes and supply them with air. Portable ventilation is necessary because the suits are sealed: sweat and heat loss quickly create an unbearable climate and overheating. A similar device found in Sumerian and Mayan bas-reliefs was called the "bag of the gods."

The Department of Justice is investigating the abuse and raping of women prisoners by male prisoners. Male prisoner Tremaine Carroll raped 3 women in a California women’s prison. The prison gave Carroll 3 different women because he requested women. nypost.com/2026/03/26/us-…

What has happened to Fnatic

are we deadass right now? Riot Platforms is a bitcoin mining company, do not confuse it with Riot Games, the gigachad game developers behind LoL, Val, TFT, etc.

@BluskyeAllison Seriously, I would love it if that happened.

“Garfield, Radcliffe, Pascal and the rest should be put on the spot. They should be made to tell us exactly what they hate about Rowling’s campaigning. Is it her belief that men are not women? Is it her funding of Biera’s Place in Edinburgh, a women-only service for survivors of sexual assault? Is it her opposition to men playing in women’s sports, including boxing, where biological males pound women literally for sport?” ✍️Brendan O’Neill | 🎁Read this article for free: telegraph.co.uk/gift/456e3fe4e…

@joe_alinda @VictoriaDailyn It's true it's not necessarily irresponsible men, it's men who simply don't want children. But it's always framed as women foregoing children for whatever reasons and being criticised. With me, my partner simply didn't want them so it was a choice and I chose him

@VictoriaDailyn Problem is your not looking at the problem. You want to look at every thing and making it about men. Thats what the original tweet is talking about.

Everyone keeps writing headlines about women in their 20s “refusing” marriage and childbirth because of empowerment. But no one is writing about the surge of men who fear responsibility, fear commitment, don’t want to be husbands, don’t want to be fathers, but want children.

@SandyofCthulhu Could be just that they haven't thought to. And they're assuming she's fine not coming. At a LAN I was at, the men invited only their friends to lunch not me - surely if I wanted to accompany them I'd just say so! True. Women operate differently socially. It was a gf who asked me

They are excluding you because of what other women have done. And out of fear that you might do.

@bhea3x_ Best of luck to the teams but I am not interested in trans players. I know they face their own obstacles but I want to support women

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GC EMEA HISTORY, WE HAVE 2 DACH TEAMS IN THE MAIN STAGE... ONLY TOOK 1644 DAYS AND FINALLY HAPPENED 😭

@exQUIZitely BASIC but more Turbo Pascal. Dabbled in C. Also as part of my Engineering course coded in machine code (just to see how it worked!) and assembly language

I got my C64 in 1984. One of my earliest memories is the strong desire to understand how it worked. Games obviously had the highest appeal, but I was also curious about what lay “behind” the screen - how things functioned, how they were connected. Not so much from a hardware perspective, but more from how programs actually worked. Naturally, in those days, you would read about programming in magazines, and they often included several pages of code that you could type in to create "your own" program. None of those programs were overly complex or particularly great, but that wasn’t the point. It was simply fascinating to see that if you wrote this, then that happened. If you tweaked a value here, a color would change there. Add an extra parameter and the result looked even better - or it all fell apart, depending on what you changed. I remember one of the earliest programs I wrote in BASIC was a number guessing game. You had 5 guesses and started by entering a number between 1 and 100. The program would then tell you "too high" or "too low" relative to the random number it had generated for that session. What a truly epic experience for a 9-year-old at the time! I changed parameters that were easy to identify in the code, such as the number of tries you had, the range of the random number, and - what made me especially proud - I even modified the computer's replies. Instead of just "too high" or "too low," it would now give more precise feedback (e.g. way too high, too high, a little bit too high, etc.). All of this sounds extremely trivial from today's perspective, but it was a playful way to explore what was possible. I continued writing programs in BASIC and later dabbled in Turbo Pascal. It never went much further than that, but it remains one of my best memories from a time when computers felt more fascinating and accessible - they made you curious and invited you to be creative. Did you ever do this back in the day? If so, what were your first steps? BASIC, Pascal...?
